The first playoff in Live Golf history.
Three players will play the 18th until we have a winner.
Dustin Johnson,
Anaman Lahiri,
Joaquin Niemann.
Go right there.
Anyone, anyone.
Two.
Okay, let's go.
You got a ball?
Yep.
Angle into the screen.
Now this guy can shoot a golf ball.
So talented.
Hole 55 for the first time in Live Golf history.
It's his head of right.
Left hand side.
Hold her eyes.
And you're right.
Couldn't be better.
Let it go.
And I'm hopefully giving that back to him telepathically.
Left side of the...
Yeah.
Another beauty.
23-246.
What did I make?
223-246.
And then...
He's going to take a wooden.
Just swing it back there.
Lahiri is going to go first.
Lahiri's ready to go.
It came out a little bit straighter than I think he expected.
It's still fading.
Fading over into that bunker.
Oh, over the bunker into the crowd.
Well, there's a person that can shape a golf ball.
This man will be it.
I have to chop at it.
It's not cutting.
That is going to be a difficult bunker shot.
57 yards closer than Anna Banglahiri.
208 yards, 7-iron.
It's going to hit the green.
Advantage Dustin Johnson.
That is where we saw Taylor Gooch in regulation play.
You wouldn't want to miss out on drama like this.
He's got a lot to live up to.
Joaquim Neyman has got a very awkward length of bunker shot.
One of the toughest shots in golf.
To try and pick clean, especially with where DJ is as well.
Got to think about that.
Oh, he's got it forward in his stance.
I think I like this one, but I just want to...
Yeah, OK.
And that may be something stronger than the sand wedge there.
It's changed clubs.
What?
With what? The 9?
Yeah, we don't need that.
It has to have a little bit of cut, but not too much.
Correct.
Oh, no. If he's going with 9-iron, he is going to play an explosion shot.
I think he switched to a wedge there.
He said it was going to spin too much to the right with a 9.
It will spin almost 90 degrees right if he catches it properly.
Once it gets on the green.
Yes.
About 15 feet before this pin.
Everything is just going to kick it right.
That's great.
That will disappear down right where Dustin Johnson is.
And will give him a really good idea of the line.
Thank you.
Now Lahiri.
Lahiri's got a decent lie and a lot of green to work with.
It's actually a decent opportunity to get it up close.
Nicely done.
A real shot maker's golf course.
Choosing to leave the flagstick in.
These flagsticks are about twice as heavy as the normal PGA Tour flagsticks.
For Joaquin Neyman.
He has tremendous golf acumen.
So he won't want to run this a long way by.
Lahiri still has to hold that one.
Dustin Johnson.
Up he goes.
Victory for Dustin Johnson.
On the first playoff hole in live golf history.
Extraordinary by DJ.
He takes out the clean sweep.
Three-peat for the four aces.
DJ shot the crowd.
He is our champion in Boston.
What a way to win it.
That thing's going maybe ten feet past.
Yeah, it was.
If it hits any part of the hole but the center, it's not in.
Well, he had it on line pretty much all day.
Hit the flagstick just a couple of holes before.
Let's take a look in.
Super slow-mo.
That was traveling.
It pops up and pops in.
Didn't hit the hole.
It moved the hole.
And a really smart move having the flagstick out.
Obviously, that was not going in had it hit the flag.
Oh, boy.
Eighth place in London.
Fourth place in Portland.
Third place in Bedminster.
And, Dom, you're with that winner, Dustin Johnson.
To its original spot.
It definitely moved a little bit.
I mean, yeah, it was going a little fast.
But it was a good line.
But, I mean, I felt like I played really well all week.
I got a little bit.
I felt like I got some unlucky breaks here the first time around.
So it owed me one.
And I got it.
To be the first American to win the individual title.
That's got to mean something.
Yeah, you are.
I feel like I've had a chance to win everyone.
And, obviously, today I played a little bit better on Sunday.
Hold some nice putts.
Made a couple crucial up and downs.
But, yeah, so, I mean, it was good.
I felt like I was due.
Your team's pretty pumped, too.
How are you guys going to celebrate tonight?
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
But, yeah, obviously, three in a row for the team.
And then for me to finally get my first win.
So I'm feeling really good.
Brilliant stuff.
That's my favorite thing.
Watch your call.
